4th of July

We did lots of fireworks for the 4th of July. Abby wanted to touch each one and succeeded in getting a burn on her head from a sparkler. It was a surface burn and she didn't even cry.

The Deadly sparkler.

Family pictures

Maggie and Abby in their blessing dresses. Maggie loved trying to get Abby's dress in her mouth.
I don't think Abby wanted her picture taken with Zack. Most of the pictures have that look.

All the kids in their beautiful clothes. My Aunt Lynette did an awesome job on both girls dresses.

Abby Helping Maggie

Abby likes to play with Maggie these days. She helps her talk on the phone and push buttons. She also likes to share her treats with her sister. I think Abby likes her sister.

Summer Fun

So the kids have managed to have a lot of fun so far this summer. They thought it would be great to put grass in Abby's hair. It took forever to get it out. I said no more grass in Abby's hair.
Maggie was having so much fun at seven peaks that she fell asleep holding her bottle. She didn't even drink very much. I guess swimming in the water wore her out.

Abby loved playing on the tube and in the water. She thought life was great at seven peaks. Zack and Brad ran and did all the water slides. Zack's favorite is the one we call the toilet bowl.

Abby and Zack helped Brad mow the lawn. Abby's little feet were brown on top and green on the bottom. The girl won't keep her shoes on.

Lehi Rodeo Days Parade

Here are some pictures of Maggie's First parade. Abby really enjoyed looking at the horses and Maggie just watched the action around her.

Floods

So the weekend that we blessed Maggie my niece Codi flooded our bathroom. When her Dad told her she didn't need to use a whole roll of toilet paper she told him she didn't she only used a half of a roll. We got it all cleaned up and everything was fine. No damage done. Well two weeks later another niece was over and she and Zack left the water running into the window well that goes into our family room. They flooded the family room. We were very blessed and had many helping hands and got everything dried out quickly. The room was no worse for the wear. We were very lucky in both incidents. We are done with water. I don't want any more floods. All of the nieces and nephews are on alert and knows that Aunt Becca might kill them if they flood one more part of her house. With so much water you would think that I would have taken some pictures. Nope. Not a one. So I have no proof of the floods.

Sealing and Blessing

This last weekend was a busy one for us. We were able to take Maggie to the Jordan River Temple and have her sealed to us. It was a neat experience for all of us. Abby was able to wear her blessing dress because it hasn't been a year since we had her sealed and her dress now comes just above her feet. I was so excited. We got two uses out of it. Maggie's dress was so cute and I am grateful that I have a talented Aunt who made both dresses for us. Then on Sunday we did her blessing. It was a neat blessing. By the end of the weekend we were all exhausted. We had a good time with all of our family and the pictures show a little bit our our day.
